Declared total loss. |
| May 16 1938 | At the BOT Formal Investigation (No.S.395), the Judge concluded that the stranding and subsequent loss would appear to be attributable to the conduct of the Bosun, John Sumner, who lost his life; Sk. Ernest Edwards was found not to blame. The Assessors did not sign the report. |
